Summary: Way too much canned soup, but some gems within
Comment: Most of the other reviewers have nailed it - a lot of these recipes are totally over-reliant on canned soup and other highly processed ingredients. Ever read the ingredient list on a can of cream-of-whatever soup? Scary! These are the kinds of recipes you find in old cookbooks from the 1950s when canned soup was considered this amazing new technical advance. Well, the only thing that's amazing about it now is the amount of preservatives it contains.
That being said, if you stick to the recipes that don't use cream-of-death soup, you will find some gems in this cookbook. There are some interesting Oriental-flavor recipes in particular. However, a lot of the "800-plus" recipes in the book are either exact duplicates or recipes with extremely slight variations, so you're not getting as many recipes as you think you are when you buy the book.
The easiest, tastiest, and most versatile crock-pot recipe is this: take 2-4 chicken breasts, place them in the crock-pot still frozen, add half a can of chicken broth and your favorite spices, and cook on low for 4-6 hours. You can use this cooked chicken in enchiladas, fajitas, chicken ala king, etc.

Summary: Great cookbook
Comment: This book is wonderful! I love being able to follow simple recipes and make them in the crockpot! They are simple, but there are several repeats in the book I could do without. But the recipes I have tried are delicious. You won't go wrong with thie book!

Summary: Not so great
Comment: Recipes are kind of yucky (maybe just not to our taste, though) but easy. Not a very wide variety, but eg. many many (too many) recipes for meatballs etc -- but not a wide variety of foods. Some things I made according to instructions seemed a little overcooked.
